Wow! Oh my gosh Michael! I had no idea until just this very minute! Right now I am remembering you Frankie and Steven in the back of my red and black Z 28 racing down I 95.

I had Billy Joel songs playing on the 8 track! I was taking you guys somewhere to meet up with your mom and dad!

You guys were going nuts in the car and cracking me!

You must remember me? Flying Fredy!

I have only fond memories of you and your brothers!!!

Blue Skies Forever Michael!!!

Michael was family to me, I loved them all!!

I miss my uncle enormously, and I can not imagine the loss but they were always good to us, my dad and his kids!! I’m sorry for your loss!

Love Always,

Patrice Malletti

What a fitting picture for the Michael I knew. I also knew much he loved being a husband and dad. With me is was always cars and racing! My condolences to the whole family. Michael is one of the good one's that will surely be missed and never replaced.

How odd the letters below Gga29. The first slot car I built for Michael he said make it #29 that is my wedding anniversary. He was just back a few months from honeymooning in Hawaii, if I remember correctly.

Race faster that ever buddy!

My deepest condolences to the entire Coppa Family. What a tragedy. May the wonderful memories you have fill your heart at this very sad time. I am so very sorry.
